Chapter 123: Fiction and Reality

"Towards victory?" Lieutenant Colonel Kent couldn't help but look at me suspiciously.

"Yes!" I said, "I wonder if the lieutenant colonel has heard about the Normandy landings?" ”

"Of course!" Lieutenant Colonel Kent replied.

"Then the lieutenant colonel must have known that the Allies used a series of means to convince the Germans that the Allies would land in another place before the Normandy landing!" I said, "This even involves putting a letter on the body of a fallen soldier and letting the body float to the German position with the intention of letting the Germans find it!" ”

"What does the colonel mean...... We used the same method to convince the Argentines that we were going to attack the port of San Carlos? ”

"You can say yes or no!"

"I don't understand!" Lieutenant Colonel Kent was a bit confused by what I said.

"First of all......" I looked at the British soldiers around me, and I didn't dare to be careless, because what we were going to say now would probably have a direct impact on the outcome of the war.

Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Kent understands this, especially since it is the BBC reporters in the army who may leak information to Argentina, and they can be said to be blatantly doing what spies do, but the military has nothing to do with them.

Because of this, the fewer people who know about it, the better, even if the soldiers around them are all SAS members who can be trusted.

So Lieutenant Colonel Kent waved his hand around, and soon there were only three people left in the entire office: me, Lieutenant Colonel Kent, and Lin Xia.

Lin Xia is indispensable, and without her translator, I wouldn't even be able to communicate with Lieutenant Colonel Kent normally.

"That's right!" I said, "First of all, we're going to set our sights on Puerto San Carlos!" ”

"Why Puerto San Carlos?" Lieutenant Colonel Kent frowned and said: "It is clear that Port Stanley is more beneficial for the landing of our troops!" ”

"Because of that. So Argentine talent is more likely to be fooled! ”

As soon as I say this, Lieutenant Colonel Kent has nothing to say. In fact, the reason why I didn't want to settle on Puerto San Carlos was the reason. It was at this port that the British army landed at this port in history.

"So, let's first make it look like we're going to attack Puerto San Carlos!" I said: "SAS forces went to destroy the radar and planes on Pebre Island, and if possible, even the airport......"

"Wait!" Lieutenant Colonel Kent interrupted me with an incredulous expression: "Did I hear it wrong or did the colonel say it wrong?" The colonel has just set his target at the port of San Carlos, and he is going to put on the appearance of attacking the port of San Carlos to bomb the radar and planes on Peble Island? ”

"You heard it right!" I say.

Kent spread his hands: "Isn't this telling the Argentines that we are going to attack?" ”

"Of course!" I said, "But soon the Argentines will think they've been fooled!" ”

"Why?" Kent said, "And what's the point? ”

"Of course it makes sense!" I said: "As I said, when we put on the appearance that we are going to attack the port of San Carlos, or at first the Argentines do not believe it, but when we blow up the radar and the airfield on the island of Peble, they should believe it and send reinforcements from Port Stanley to the port of San Carlos!" ”

That's for sure. You must know that two-thirds of the troops on the island are in Port Stanley, and in other places, except for the port of San Carlos and the island of Pebul, where there are more than 1,000 Argentine soldiers, there are basically only one or two hundred.

So, of course, this reinforcement was sent by Port Stanley.

"Hmm!" Kent nodded in agreement.

"We'll tell the BBC something!" I said: "Let the BBC think that we are actually following the example of the Normandy landings, which on the surface look like we are planning to land in the port of San Carlos, but in fact the real purpose is to hope that the Argentines will transfer their troops from Port Stanley to the port of San Carlos, so as to reduce the pressure on the British to land!" In this way, what does the lieutenant colonel think the Argentines will do? ”

“WOO!” Lieutenant Colonel Kent reacted at this time: "You're right, the Argentines will believe the BBC report, and we can even put on a show at this time to have a few senior officers yelling at the BBC on the radio." Or the head of the country will file a lawsuit against the BBC, which will be more credible for Argentines to believe. In addition, Port Stanley is more suitable for a large number of troops to land than Port San Carlos, so the Argentines will think that they have been fooled and immediately turn back the reinforcements of Port San Carlos! ”

"Yes!" I said, "On the other hand, you can also make a show in the direction of Port Stanley, such as a few more small reconnaissance flights, or a few more reconnaissance planes, to convince the Argentines that our real target is actually Port Stanley, and that the direction of San Carlos is just a hoax......"

"Great!" Before I could finish speaking, Kent praised: "I like the idea, it allows us to blatantly pull out the nail of Pebriel Island without alarming the Argentinians, or even if it does, they think that we are only doing it to fool them, and the result is to watch us land in the port of San Carlos!" ”

"If this plan finally succeeds!" I said, "I think you owe a good thank you to the BBC!" ”

"Of course!" Lieutenant Colonel Kent couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "If it is possible, I will also give them a medal, I really can't wait to see the expression on their faces when they receive it!" ”

This plan was quickly agreed to by the task force higher-ups...... After all, this plan is related to whether the army can successfully land or even the success or failure of the entire war, which is not something that SAS or Lieutenant Colonel Kent can decide.

So the Antrim turned to Pebble Island, which was heading straight for the Falklands, that night, and there was a small episode...... When Kent telegraphed the plan to the higher-ups for instructions, the communications soldier looked at me in astonishment with the phone: "Colonel, Brigadier General Clapp's call!" ”

Obviously, this communications soldier couldn't understand that a brigadier general would call me, a colonel...... And he is also an honorary colonel, and at this time, in addition to this rank, I only have more than a dozen soldiers who can really control zhì.

"I'm Yang Xuefeng!" I quickly identified myself after taking the microphone, but soon realized that Clapp on the other end of the phone did not understand Chinese, so I handed the microphone to Lin Xia.

"Colonel!" Clapp's laughter rang on the other end of the line: "You're amazing to hear that you defeated our SAS in the exercise. In fact...... At first, I rejected SAS's request for reasons to protect you, but now it seems that my move should be called protecting SAS! ”

"Thank you!" I replied.

Regardless of whether Brigadier Clapp's approach worked in the end or not, I still received this intention.

"I should thank you!" Clapp laughed, "I'm not surprised that Lieutenant Colonel Kent mentioned you in his report that this plan was made by you, because you have surprised me so many times, and it happened in the past few days." You are a genius, Colonel, and if you wish, I would like you to remain in our unit as an advisor for a long time! ”

"General......

"You don't need to answer me right away!" Brigadier General Clapp interrupted me and said, "I hope you think about it and give me the answer the next time we meet, I'm sure you'll make the right choice!" ”

I should say that Clapp was wise in doing this, because he knew that if I wanted to answer him right away, I would refuse without thinking about it...... This is a natural reaction as a soldier.

But if I think about it for a while, there is a choice before us...... Is it to return to China and continue to live such a miserable life with no equipment and no technology? Or to develop in a much better condition of the British army.

What Clapp didn't expect, however, was that I wouldn't struggle with this question at all.

The reason is very simple, I am a modern person, as a modern person, I clearly know that China has been strong all the way after the reform and opening up, and now it has even become the world's second largest economy, and the military has also become the third country in addition to the United States and Russia. And Britain, the former empire, can almost be said to live in the shadow of the United States.

So I wouldn't consider staying in the UK, either for business or for private reasons.

The voyage was faster than we expected, and we reached the waters off the Falklands the next evening.

Of course, we can't get too close, but it takes about half an hour for a helicopter to reach the Falklands, which is a distance of about 100 kilometers. Of course, this is for the sake of safety, and if our warship swaggers into the sight of the Argentines, then everyone knows that we will make a move.

Because at this time I have access to top secrets...... This top secret was the plan to land in the port of San Carlos, and you must know that this plan was known to almost no one except Lieutenant Commander Kent and a few fleet generals.

It is precisely because of this, or because he believes that we do not have special forces in China, so he is very relieved to arrange an operation to Pebul Island in front of me.

In fact, I would love to be able to go with SAS on this mission to Pebul Island. Because as a special forces unit, I naturally have a strong desire to see what kind of combat effectiveness SAS has in actual combat or what tactics we don't have.

But I knew it couldn't be.

It's not because I'm Chinese...... In fact, I should say that there are reasons for this, but not because I am wary, but because I am a Chinese adviser, and I am a Chinese adviser who has repeatedly given useful advice to the British task force, so they will not let me take this risk.

The second is because of the way special forces operate.

At the same time, of course, I know that the SAS operation requires the close cooperation of all team members, and the slightest deviation in the whole operation will bring a fatal blow to the entire unit, so even if I can meet their requirements in military skills, the problem is that I have neither experience with them nor English, so if I go on a mission with them, it will only bring them potential danger.

With all this in mind, I won't mention this request. (To be continued......)
